pickPatricia Wiltshire is a pioneering forensic ecologist specialising in palynology. She compares the pollen and spores found in a suspect's clothing or vehicle with those at the crime sceneto find out whether the suspect was at the scene or not. If, for example, X says a couple had consensual sex here while Y says it was rape there, Patricia Wiltshire can assess whose story at least gets the location right. 👎
Imagine, for a moment, that you are walking in a winter wood.

pickI managed to get through my 15 hour audio book Traces by Patricia Wiltshire. I enjoyed it but she did trail off a few time's to talk about her 'loving husband' and what he did which made no sense because he does the same as her minus the dead body! Anyway she has a cold way of looking at death and the dead some of it i didn't agree with including the body farms @Hestapleton

Traces: The memoir of a forensic scientist and criminal investigator | 
As she rightly assumes that her readers (at least me) are almost totally ignorant of palynology there is a certain amount of dry technical detail to be explained, but the cases she uses as illustrations and the story of her life are interesting enough to keep the pages turning. 2y
